Comment (by perkins1724@…):

 I think comment:3 sums up the inherent conflict in this context of livetv
 versus only pre-recorded well.

 re the suggestions:
 1. adding Watch TV to the EditRecording() pop-up has made me nervous from
 the start. Partly because changing schedulecommon.cpp to implement is well
 beyond my capability but also because I worry that it may introduce
 unintended behaviour in unintended places - for example maybe because of
 the program finder progfind.cpp functionality. I don't understand the code
 well enough to know the full implications of this so will leave to others
 more suitably experienced. That aside - it would seem to be a solid
 compromise between the two viewpoints.
 2. -
 3. I will modify my original patch snippet (so it remains as an option) to
 essentially make setting '0' to be the equivalent to disabled. Note that
 this setting currently defaults to '16' but may not have affected pure
 pre-recorded users previously. This patch may require those users to
 manually enter setup (mythfrontend -> setup -> video -> program guide) and
 change the setting to '0' to retain the pre-patch EPG behaviour, which may
 cause initial frustration from users who do not desire the altered
 behaviour. An alternative may be to create a new setting from scratch but
 seems to be overkill when the dual use of the setting appears consistent /
 complementary.
